This new smartphone display is is a TFT LCD display and it comes with a 1500:1 contrast ratio and a 160 degree viewing angle, we could possibly see this new display launch in a Sony Xperia device first.

Japan Display is a collaboration between Sony, Toshiba and Hitachi, so it looks like Sony who are the major smartphone player out of the three could be the first to use this display.

The company also announced a new 6.2 inch display for smartphones that also comes with a resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels, although this one has a lower density of pixels at 473 pixels per inch.
